I got a bit confused there. Pages behaves as you say, Microsoft Word
would turn off bold on the initial push of the button, then adding
bold to the styles the next time.
This is why I thought I needed to find the style of each word in a
group of words when the the textStyles is mixed. And I still think
that is what I need in order to mimic the behaviour of either Word or
Pages.
Okay - so - create a stack, create a field, type some text in it and
then see if you find that the Text > Bold/Italic/... items work as you
find in Pages/Word (you should, they seem to for me)...
If you find they work the same then:
set the textStyle["bold"] of the selectedChunk to true -- "bold" can
be "italic" or any of the others, setting to false does the inverse
Is definitely what you need.
If the textStyle["bold"] of the selectedChunk is "mixed" it means some
chars are bold, some aren't - so you can make the appropriate decision
as to what to do based on your preference for either the Pages or Word
behavior :)
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
P.S. The above feature was implemented a few versions ago precisely to
allow the functionality you describe to be implemented very easily...
Prior to it, the IDE menu items still did the right thing - but the code
was, well, nowhere near a single line...
